Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Bretton Woods at Free against Eclipse Companion's $3.99. Bretton Woods also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Eclipse Companion's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
